Sažetak
The Chinese construction industry is characterised by the frequent job
changes of lower-level workers, which has been identified as one of
the principal causes of poor performance, quality and safety accidents,
and high technology loss in the construction industry. Assuming that
each party has incomplete market information about the other, we
can thus define a dynamic game relationship between employers’
incentives to retain workers and workers’ mobility behaviour. By
using evolutionary game theory, in this study we analyse various
conditional evolutionary stable strategies and explore how employer
behaviour influences the mobility of the workers in this industry in
China. The results show that under the prevailing employment model,
construction workers are bound to change jobs regardless of whether
their employers adopt incentives to retain them or not. This finding
suggests that the government, as the market regulator, should reform
its employment model to ensure that construction workers switch
jobs in an orderly and rational manner.
